- Sarge finally gets a chance to do a proper road test of the Aprilia RS 457 after it won him over on the race track. Armed with the most power and torque in class, the most beautiful design, electronics and insane price tag of 4.10L, does it also have the versatility of a good road bike that the R3 and Ninja 500 are renowned for? Sarge gives it the beans to find out!

The only guy who spoke about Engine heat and heat dissipation !
That tells me how good, knowledgeable and sensible of an Automotive Journalist Sarge is.
Opening a new tab for the Aprilia RS457 booking now.

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial HOw mUch heat it will be for a gt650 fella? I wonder why my love always wanted to cook the nuts!
Probably less. GT runs hot in summer, and there isn't enough assistance to deal with that engine heat. @@ThastsiT
@@ThastsiT thats cuz the GT650 warms the heart of a mind whom people usually call as 'nuts' 🤣 Take a rest ride and find out. Who knows, what if you end up getting an RSV4 someday far along the way of life?
Its like i'm watching a movie.
See you at 7.30

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial what about heating issues in traffic jam? Any heat issues on legs near engine?

Glad you enjoyed it mate .do like and share the love
True. I almost bought an r15 after his first review, till he reviewed duke200 and i went ahead with that 😅
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Even I bought the Dominar400 2017 model after watching his review. 🤝
Back in 2016 I bought gixxer sf for my daily commute after watching his review video. Last year I bought tvs apache rr310 BTO with complete kit after watching his review and loving every bit of it, the bike is so agile and holds the line pretty tight while corenering.
handles like an R15. basically this is what everyone was asking for a more powerful r15 like bike. Aprilia did it

I can relate everything that you're saying Sarge! This is the kind of review this bike deserves. Loved it!!
I'm a super proud owner of the RS457 and RSV4 1100 Factory from Bangalore!! Can't wait to finish the run in. I'm already having blast!!
Congrats on your purchase. Do like and share the love
You bought another Aprilia, so are you happy with the reliability and ASS of the first one?
How's the after sales support man?
Support had not been great for the RSV4. I sourced parts myself. But we guys who bought the Aprilia Big bikes were aware of all this and still bought the bikes because the bikes are excellent. It's really hard to go back to anything else once you're used to the character of the Aprilias. Reliability wise there's been no issue if maintained well. We just needed a good technicians to take care of them. The bikes are superb. At least the new ones are.
However there's a new dealer now in Bangalore Falconmobikes. I got my 457 through them. Their Support so far has been excellent. They are already dealers of Suzuki big bikes and know how to treat and handle customers. Apparently lot of changes have happened in the top management of Piaggio aswell and so far all seems positive. This new dealer also can help me with the maintainance of Rsv4. I'm just really happy now that we have a new good dealer at bangalore to take care of the 457 and the RSV4 too. I hope everybody else around India can tell the same.
And with regard to the 457, I'm super happy so far. Going to finish my run in and hit the track soon!
Reliability wise Aprilias are good if maintained well. I have an sr160 aswell and support has been good.
Support hasn't been great for my RSV4. I sourced parts myself and found good technicians to take care of the bike. But we Aprilia Big bikes owners knew all this and still went ahead and bought the bikes because the bikes are amazing. I have the latest gen RSV4 1100 Factory and prior to this I had a 2019 RSV4 RR. it's hard to go back to anything else once you're used the character of Aprilias.
However there's a new dealer in bangalore Falcon Mobikes who seems promising. They are also dealers for Suzuki big bikes and know how to treat and handle customers. The Support so far has been excellent. RS457, no doubt I'm sure they can handle it well. But they'll also take care of the RSV4. I'm just really happy that we have another dealer here in bangalore who can Support us. I hope more people can tell the same across India.
Seems like lot of changes have happened in the top management of Piaggio for the betterment and future for Aprilia seems to be good!
Hopefully Aprilla has good service, this maybe the perfect sweet spot goldilock sports bike for Indian roads!
47 bhp is enough to have fun but not enough get one in crazy trouble.
Nice tyres good electronic package. 140kmph cruise speed is just perfect.
And the price is
It's all down to the aftersales service now
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial honestly I'm super tempted to risk it and play Russian roulette in the worst case scenario I can do the service bits myself. parts made in India ofc!
I don't even like bikes above 50 hp.
5:13 wheelie 🥵🥵🔥🔥
Who would have thought that this can powerwheelie in the 3rd gear 😱
Powerfull machine 🔥🔥
Gt 650 vs Ninja 300 vs RS 457
Which one is better for the city?
Ninja heats up the least
GT is an 🐘🦏. Other two are superbikes.
I see what you did there with this video. Made this one similar to that of the first duke 200. Because this ones a game changer too like that first indian KTM.

Cheers bud. Do like and share the love
Was thinking of getting this as first bike as a brand new rider who barely even rides a bicycle much.
Then common sense hit me 🤔
Brand new bike on the market so don't know what long term problems are.
Expensive for beginner bike.
Wallet will likely cry if I crash and damage something.
Sounds not made for a beginner despite supposedly supposed to being one.
Aftermarket = Nonexistent.
Only videos I can find on it are likely in India... and therefore I don't even know if it's released yet in the US.
Made for tracks and I doubt I'd even use it much for that...
I'm so sad. Why all the cool beginner bikes come with all these catches 😭😭
Those transitions were among the top 10 anime betrayals.
Jokes apart , sagar, do note it’s refreshing to see comedic reliefs on the video rather than popping wheelies.
And to be honest the majority of us enthusiasts cant scrape pegs or pop a wheelie.
We simply do not possess the talent that you have thats why we come to your channel to get the opinion.
So please ,reviews like this video is a gold a departure from whacking the throttle open type of video. Because as much as we want we don’t get to utilise the 100 percent of the limiter in our lifetime we only stick to 30-60 percent most of the time on roads or occasionally on the highways. So a road biased, and road “rider” oriented reviews will go a long way.
Sorry for the long wall of text.

Is this better than the ninja 500? What are the cons of this bike?
Watch the video to know them
Only cons service spare availability
Dealer availability too. I live in Gurgaon and even the dealer listed on Aprilia's own website is yet to get a bike made available for test rides. So one can imagine the horrendous shortage of spares. At this point even triumph and hero Harley are doing a better job of availability and reachability
@@Shariq46Correct they are novice now but making it production in India, studying the supply demand sentiment and opportunity of export could make them a lead players in coming years.
Obv no. If tou have the money go for the ninja.
I will pay a million bucks just to see Sarge make a video in Hindi only. 😂😂😂. Will it ever happen Sarge?

I have taken test ride of rs 457 in Hyderabad and TFT is bit glitchy and not sure about ground clearance with 2 person on the bike
I had small chat with aprilia area sales manager he told be that currently sintered pads are not available as a accessories in india and cost of service is unknown there are not able to give price bracket for service and some rumours are it will be as expensive as ninja 400 service cost around 6-9k is it true
Let's wait for facts shall we? Ground clearance was not an issue during the test. Don't think it will be with a pillion when you bump up the preload.
My review after riding the bike is aprilia is not like ktm's it feel more controllable and confident while riding what are your thoughts on this ..?
I equally love ktms but the Aprilia feels more like a race bike
Somebody plzz reply me…What can I expect mileage??
Expect about 250km range
Putting up a request to review the newly launched Pulsar N250. Total package at such a reasonable price. Would love to hear your views.
Testing it as we speak
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial wow... Great.
Better than KTM
Yes
Perimeter frame but no link type rear mono shock !!! Shocking !! Liñk type mono shock adds an another dimension to the handling and stability of a sport bike , it is designed in such a way that it pushes the swing arm towards the ground giving maximum traction plus it keeps the weight of the passengers near to the tarmack which again enhances stability.😮
link type mono suspension is patented by Yamaha 😂😂
@@struggler5960...no !! The cbr250r hàs it, ninjà 250 and 300 have it and so on..
I remember getting Aprilia 150 Sr watching your review at PTR 😃… cos for me it’s engine.. cos its heart, that’s all matters ❤. So sarge question is Engine to choose RS457 or RE Conti 650 GT???
This
@@SagarSheldekarOfficialdone bro.. Booked RS 457 !
Hi Sagar,
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to highlight a problem a lot of owners are experiencing with this machine, the bike tends to lean on the left side even on decent speed (70-90) once you let go off the handlebars. I’m a member of a local bike group called DARC (Delhi Aprilia Riders Club) and members there have also expressed the same feeling.
I don’t know if that’s actually a problem with this machine since most of us are experiencing it.
Or, does it have to do something with the momentum of the engine? Can you please help us investigating this issue with Aprilia? I’m sure they’ll take your word seriously.
With Headlights off and DRL on it looks stunning in low light conditions . With small modifications this bike will look exactly like 660. ( fatter tyre, tall cowl, rsv4 style winglet and bubble visor, stealth mirror, brembo hydraulic brakes and full system sc project exhaust) . This might actually be one of the best looking bikes under 20 lac segment.
Sure is. Do like and share the love
I have world's fastest bike specifications 124cc ,2 valve
4 speed transmission and .70 mm big piston guess the bike.😅😅😅
How was the fuel economy Sarge?
The range is about 250kms
@2:57 amazing transition, watched it a few times and phenomenal bike!
Cheers bud. Do watch the comparo as well
The only man’s motorcycle review I wait for! Phenomenal job and cinematic shots and storytelling. Fantastic work

Can I Increase Seat Height?? Btw Nice Video 💕🔥
Adding preload will help higher it
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial how much can I increase after preload??
02:21 that "you know what you are pressing in the dark" moment is hillarious... 💌 #sarge
Atlast ENGLISH review from India 😊
Sagar never disappoints us......
But I want to know the location where you shoot wheelies
It's definitely the outskirts of Pune..
Tamhini near Pune. Do like and share the love
Stunning review bro, was thinking about gifting this rs457 to my younger brother who will turn 22 this year and i will get a zx6r for myself lol
Awesome. Do like and share the love ahead
Sagar's video quality is like honda's refinement never disappoints.
I had a doubt how suitable it is for 5'4 height and i am a lean person can i manage this bike as there is no showroom near me to try it out
You will be fine
2018 rr310 planning to upgrade , but the heating issue is my biggest concern, rr310 is gem of heat management, i never felt heat
This does heat up
Sagar how's the tires? And have you faced that same brake fading issue in the streets? Upon coming downhill perhaps?
Yes it needs sintered pads. And the tyres were good for the road. Need something stickier for the track
What is your height bro? Is it suitable for 5”11
I’m 6. Fits me like a snug glove.
Am 5'11.
All this engineering and all but still can't find a way to keep the heat away from rider!! These European bikes heat so much that it's a deal breaker already! Surely not suitable for Indian climate conditions. I was hoping they might R&Ded it for Indian conditions but seems like they are looking at Cooler European and American markets as their primary focus.
So Sarge ...this or still the time proven RC390 ?
This
Waiting till mid video for that patented wheelie!
Third gear power wheelie ✊🏻🚀

Always wanted to see this reviewed by u, waiting to see after they release accessories on how it works on it...
Can't wait to try it with the quick shifter and taller windscreen
It sounds like an Compact SUV like Venus Sonet
Now please give us a locally manufactured Tuareg 457, Aprilia.
Amen until then do like and share the love
I hope we shall have a great service/ after sale response as well from Aprillia
Fingers crossed
Are you suggesting potential buyers to swap the brake pads to aftermarket sintered pads? Do you think Aprilia themselves might fix this as many have pointed out this issue?
Great video as usual BTW 😁👍🏻
Not sure when Aprilia will do it if at all. And bybre sintered pads won't cost you more than 3k. Do like and share the love

Heat dissipation by cooking the rider's b**ls!? Why on earth would anyone be okay with that? What a bummer!! I was really looking forward to this bike. :(
It's not a deal breaker though
Only Sarge can make a video of this caliber
Cheers mate. Do like and share the love
I really love this motorcycle but once CF MOTO launches its 450 line up in India. I will definitely go for CF MOTO. 270° parallel twin engine, 46.2 HP, 39.3 NM torque. All that under 2.7 lakhs. What are your thoughts on CF MOTO 450 SR and 450 MT?
Look promising. Can't wait to ride them
perfect replacement for the good old R15 folks, however only a few handful of people will really wanna take this bike to the Track, will be more prominent on highway rides and a highlight for spotters!
Amazing visuals sarge! Is the headlight performance good?
Yes no complaints there. Do like and share the love
Believe it or not, the pricing was going to be sub 4 lakh, around 3.75 lakh ex-showroom. The only reason it was bumped up because Aprilia didnt have enough confidence on projected sales volume and increased the price. (Yes, higher the volume, easier it is for OEMs to price their products lower).
P.S. I worked with Aprilia until last year
Still priced very competitively
This man never fails to leave goosebumps. As always, What a smashing review.

After watching this video I am making up my mind to get one for me with the replacement of Gen1 RC 390
Good option
I have a 457 with a quickshifter i can only get a wheelie out of 1st gear and a short one at that how are you getting it up in 3rd??? Im assuming it was helped by the hill? Also mine doesn’t even clutch up in second gear or third with traction control off neither.
Yes the crest helped to lift it and keep it going
Although I will be 50 years-old in two months I am thinking seriously of buying an RS457. You could say that I going to make a "midlife crisis" mistake but I am in love with the looks of this bike. Do you believe that furthermore its useability I could travel around Europe with this?
I think you can.
Aprilia just showed the Indian bike brands 'How it's actually done'.
Coming from Him 411 I was eagerly waiting for Him 450 but this Italian beauty took all of my attention and money.
Now that 'The Master' has given validation I can't wait more.
This is a big win for India
Sagar Sir , Axor helmet company cheated me .. i had purchased an Axor retro rogue helmet, which cost me around 7000/- from their official website. The quality of the helmet is bad. They refused to return the product, as the return option is not available on their website.
Their staff are stubborn by nature and don't have basic ethics..
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get the resolution you seek
Another fantastic video sarge ❤ Please tell me,I'm not into track, for daily use as well as intermediary touring out of RS 457 & Duke 390 which one should I purchase ...??
The RS
Hi, I am 5'9. What do you think about the seating posture and leg placement on this ?
And by the way I am new into bikes but the way you portray things and videos, Man what a class. I have seen alot of videos and only your video looks professional and its a treat to watch :)
You should be fine. Do like and share the love ahead
That skull of a dragon or something else freaked me out...
Anyways..this bike looks amazing. But have they used 270 firing order for the parallel twin mill which sounds super sweet??
Yes
Finally a motorcycle that can actually compete with RC390 and beat it in overall package and value. This bike seriously needs a Tuono version. This motor in a street bike will absolutely kill the Duke 390 dominance.
True that. Do like and share the love
I have been a r3 fan boi
I see a 2016 r3 with 29000 km at 2.3-2.4 lakh
Should I consider it if condition is good or wait and by a new bike in a year?
But this twin 😢
@sagar please suggest
I recommend this

If there was a close by dealer to me I would take the risk but the closest dealer is 2 hours away and I don’t feel like taking a 4 hour round trip for recalls and warranty claims to drop it off and then another 4 hours trip to pick it up ,I don’t like how the ninja 500 looks but I think that’s my best bet since there’s a dealer 30 minutes from me ..I do all the maintenance myself I’m just worried about new models recalls
Makes sense
Sagar ji Namaste , can you please tell from where you brought that Rossi earrings. I have been searching online everywhere Could you please tell me?
Some shop in Goa a long time ago
my guy is slowly having a dad tummy.
I am so confused now bhaiya. Was going to buy th rr310 i just love how it looks but with this here i feel it might prove to be underpowered 6 months down the road. What will be your advice ?
Buy Honda Activa 5g .
Beautiful machine. But I wonder where can I actually ride it staying in a metro city ... (T o T)
Will be more fun on the longer rides

Honda cb 300f Review What about engine reliability and aftersales service rs457
That's an unknown for now
How is the motor compared to interceptor? Same kinda torque or somewhat different? Also, what’s the redline? Interceptor is somewhere close to 7000 ish…
The rev limiter kicks in at 10500. This is more revvy and punchier at the top

Haha aprillia has worst service all day long and spare parts cost leg and hane all day long...
Owner of storm 125 😢
Very costly spare parts alonf with shit service 😮
Hope this changes with the rs457
Im just starting out and is learning to ride. If I can get to half your skill level,hopefully, ill be happy.
Welcome onboard. It's a beautiful journey this
Best looking Indian made bike is RR310 but this one is close second 😍😍.
When look it as whole it's quite a Bank for the buck bike .
This is the best looking in my books especially in prismatic black
Thank you Sagar. I’m so interested in this engine but I’ll wait for the Tuono. I hope they launch it soon. I’m buying. 😅
Haha we all are waiting
Loving the cinematography of ur videos bro. It looks great on every video. But u really need to work in the music department.
Lol
New style is lovely! Always raising the bar for us
Glad you enjoyed it bud
R3 for the mind......any day.
457 for the heart......but forget reliability.
That's an unknown
Sir can you ellaborate why we have to change break pads ?? . Thanks 👍🏻 for this awesome review ..
Get sintered brake pads
What a motorcycle when it's new!!!
But as with all european bikes long term ownership is not practical...
Hope that's not the case with the RS
Sarge, with such an awesome review for a nearly perfect bike.. you are pushing me to spend ~5.5L! 😅
Haha sorry not sorry 😜
